I cannot get mine to do anything but record video and snap photos. I'm new to Skype and streaming so any help will be appreciated. Thank!

It depends on your system (Mac, Windows 7 or 8, etc.), but you should start with Skype preferences in the audio-video section. If you cannot solve it there, you will need to check your system sound and/or the Creative software program. Good luck.

I have been able to use mine like a webcam by plugging it in then holding the button. Device manager sees it as a GVD and it works with skype.

Typically if you are using Video calls on Skype / messenger / Facebook whatever.. drivers will automatically works. However windows 7 doesn't webcam application if you need for capture picture or video, you need install an application such as Microsoft AMCap...

Thats odd, maybe your mics arent working. Or you source is very far away. Have you tried doing a test video where you speak directly to the camera? If you cant take it back theres a hotshoe mic available for the cameras

I have had the same exact problem. Worked great for awhile; now just shows it is recording and doesn't register any sound. Would love to hear if anyone has a solution?

I downloaded the trial to USB Audio Recorder Pro and it does indeed work with the mic HOWEVER you can only use the mic with this specific app... :'( Has anyone else figured this out?

I've been using mine for 5 days now, and got about 5.5 hrs till the CARD FULL message popped up recording in 1080p. I'm still learning, instructions are vague at best. I switched over to the 5 min loop. If I read it right, it should now just keep recording over the older footage. So far, it's a really cool cam............

I have been tracking this issue also, but I don't have the new camera yet. I just put together s system with the same processor and memory, and installed Sony VMS 10. From what I have heard, the problem is capturing the video from the camera in it's native format. Once its in a suitable format, it will handle the video. Check the forums at sony here: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/default.asp

It didn't work for me with any device I tried, one of which was a webcam. Maybe mine was just a bad cable, I don't know.

Check the battery, and then check the audio settings on the camera. I have the same camera and the mic works great.

I just received and plugged this in. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS. VLC worked for me after picking /dev/video1 as the capture device (/dev/video0 was the integrated webcam on the laptop). I also installed and ran the program called "cheese". It allowed me to capture pics and record video, although the video was very wavy as I moved the camera around. VLC had a wavy effect as well, but it wasn't as pronounced.

I would suggest using open broadcast software with this video capture. u can't use this device to record voice. also u can't play and record at the same time with this device. Again u have to use OBS with it to get the recording. Also u r going to get low quality video with this device.

I only have mine taking snap shot alarms. I'd call FOSCAM to see how you record the output. It would probably take a dedicated computer with LOTS of memory.

I use the YCam app and it works fine for me for sound and live video. I think there are several others that work with it as well, maybe some others can chime in too

I used mine on Skype and had to get Skype to recognize the camera. I think I did so either through the view or tools dropdowns. The Skype home page has instructions on how to do this. Good luck.
